Volume 9 The Journey of Slaying the Dragon Chapter 49 Stratagem (9)
In a battle that is tightly connected and tightly knit, the slightest difference is enough to cause irreparable regrets. 【Fengyun Reading Network.】
Attack and defense are completed in an instant.
The combat experience and will honed from life and death were completely released on Luo Lan's body at this moment, and his movements flowed naturally, without any deliberate traces of axe chisels, as if he was originally ready to turn around and stab, just like an eagle bird with wings spread must be soaring into the air in the next moment.
The assassin's dagger was still on the way, but the direction had changed, and it was no longer the comfortable assassination it used to be, and Luo Lan's dagger would definitely preempt him by one step and penetrate his throat, cutting off life and movement together.
The six pillars around the tower suddenly burst into a scorching flash, and then quickly connected and merged with each other, sealing off the entire space in the blink of an eye, enclosing it in a cage made of white lightning chains. Although as a mage, Hedamik's reaction was not as good as Luo Lan's, but he knew how to judge the situation, and now he didn't need to participate in the attack, he only needed to block this assassin and cut off the back road.
In this case, the assassin has no time to make any small moves, and it seems that he can only be captured or killed if he is waiting for him.
Luo Lan's murderous eyes made contact with the assassin's gaze.
It's like two daggers clashing in advance, colliding with fierce sparks.
It was a pair of sparkling yellow eyes, no pupils, no whites, just a fluorescent.
Suddenly, the light shone brightly. It's like a dim flame that suddenly rises into a giant flame.
Luo Lan's dagger was slashing across his throat, unhurried. Easy exceptions.
But his heart sank, for the dagger tore through the air, as if he were facing a disembodied ghost.
A living person disappeared in an instant, and the void feeling of stepping on the air suddenly appeared in his chest.
Almost at the same time, he suddenly turned his head to look to the left, and the assassin appeared at the edge of the tower again, and glanced deeply at Luo Lan, the yellow light in his eyes beating like firelight, and then let out a delicate soft grunt. Jumping downward, he threw himself from a high altitude into the sporadic cluster of buildings below.
By the time Hedamic cursed angrily and removed the chain blockade, the two men rushed to the fence and looked down, and the assassin was gone.
"What's going on, how did he escape?" Hedamic was shocked, the Instant Lightning Chain was not a clever magic, but he wanted to escape from the completely enclosed environment for a short time. Lin Lei basically didn't have any methods except for the same use of qi magic, but he didn't feel any magic fluctuations.
Luo Lan didn't speak, he went back to the place where the assassin disappeared just now and pondered for a moment, suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, as if he thought of something, slowly stretched out his hand and compared, and at the same time turned his head and glanced back, the projection of an arm was being pulled long onto the stone pillar. I couldn't help but nod thoughtfully.
"What is this?" Reflecting the moonlight, Hedamic picked up an accessory on the ground, a strange crescent-shaped ornament inlaid with animal bones and mythril.
Luo Lan remembered that when he slashed at the other party's throat just now, something did fall to the ground, but the sound was not loud, so light that it could almost be ignored.
"It's like something a woman wears. Hedamic looked at it carefully, rubbed it again, and handed it to Luo Lan.
"It's not a woman!" Luo Lan snorted coldly, he shook the accessory with it, and said in a deep voice: "White Fang Moon Ornament." You can't be wrong, it's a female black elf. He turned his head to look at the place where the assassin had jumped and said, "The reason why she was able to escape my attack just now was because she used the unique talent of the Black Elves, Shadow Shift. ”
Hedamic had heard of Shadow Shifting, a talent that only the elite of the Black Elves could use. It is said to cause the Black Elf's body to move at any point within the reach of its own shadow. And this movement is not bound by time and space. It is because of this that the Shadow Thief profession is so numerous among the Black Elves that it is numerous. It is also the most prestigious, well, it should be said that it is notorious, because the fallen elves who believe in the gods of darkness do not have any human morals, and nothing can bind them except for the family rules of the oracle.
Luo Lan frowned and thought for a moment, from the moment he revealed his identity as a teacher, he was equivalent to being exposed to the light, and he needed to be on guard at all times against possible attacks in the shadows.
He had considered the possibility of assassination from within the Monks' Society, but this was not very likely, because although the method of assassination was very effective and direct, it was also the most helpless choice, just like cutting through a mess, it was the last patience of the knife-wielder, but the monks were obviously not so short-sighted and impulsive.
Then the rest is the Thieves' Guild, but this black elf's assassination technique and level are far from Adozifath's, and he doesn't think the guild will make such a low-level mistake of falling twice in the same pit.
So who will it be?
Judging from the location where the black elf was hiding in advance, it was at the top of the tower, and since Luo Lan had not decided in advance which tower he would agree to meet with Hedamik, he had a faint feeling in his heart that this assassination was not like it had been arranged a long time ago, but like a sudden encounter.
He pursed his lips and smiled, it seemed that there were indeed a lot of programs that surprised him tonight.
At this time, in an inconspicuous ordinary hotel under the Great Wave Fortress, there are many declining noble children who have come from all over the mainland to adventure, like countless shots staged at night, a drunken and hazy aristocratic young man staggered to his feet, his eyes rolled casually, and he skimmed a beautiful back, the woman who stayed in the inn so late, casually thought about it and knew what kind of identity it was, so he walked up, put his arms around the woman's slender waist, and pinched it by the way, he could feel that the small and weak body under his hands seemed to tremble, but there was no struggle。
The woman turned slowly, the young man lowered his head, and didn't care very much about it, to be honest, this woman's appearance is average, but she knows how to put on makeup, and she doesn't have that disgusting heavy makeup, but it is a faint elegance, and most importantly, she is still very young, at most fifteen or sixteen years old, not only the skin is smooth, but the touch on her hands is also very elastic, not only that, her clothes are not the kind of seductive low neck, but the buttons are tightly fastened, only revealing a long snow-white neck, but in this way, it outlines the curve of her beautiful breasts, adding a sense of temptation。
She looked like a young girl running out of the house in the middle of the night in a commoner's house, not a woman with a job.
The young man touched the girl's upturned buttocks very old-fashionedly, squinted his eyes, and said with a snort of wine: "A silver coin." ”
The girl did not answer, but blushed slightly, then lowered her head slightly, and nodded imperceptibly.
"Boom!" the young man shook himself to the point that something in his body had been ignited, and then it warmed up, and that shy expression made him feel a desire in his heart that needed to be released immediately.
"Lead the way. His breath was short, and he wondered that he wasn't a young man, but now he felt even more excited than he had had had his first tryst with a woman.
The girl's movements were gentle, she did not stand next to him like those gaudy women, but kept a distance from the ground, gently grasped the young man's hand, and then smiled softly, and led him forward.
The young man's eyes were in a trance, and a long-lost feeling spread in his chest, and he seemed to see his youthful sprouts again, and returned to the pure feelings and touching love, and he felt that it was a good feeling, very wonderful, and one more, he sighed, and reached into his pocket and touched it, and held the two remaining silver coins in his hands.
It didn't take long for them to pass through the deep alleys, and soon they were in front of a building, and the girl pushed open the door and whispered, "Go in." ”
Her voice was not like what a young girl should make, but like a mature young woman, and there was not only a hint of impatience in it, but more like the completion of an annoying errand.
Before the young man could make a sound, he suddenly felt a strong force coming from his back, and then the door behind him slammed shut.
He staggered and fell into the room, shook his head, and before he could wake up from the great contrast between before and after, he felt as if his body had been suppressed by something, his spirit, his flesh and blood, his thoughts, all suppressed, and then condensed until they were indistinguishable from each other, and then fell into a whirlpool from which he could not escape as if he had entered a deep dream.
Two silver coins rolled out of their bones, making a crisp chime in the silence of the night.
A moment later, a hoarse voice rang out, "Come in." ”
When the girl came in through the door, her image was completely different, behind her were two wide bat wings, on her head were two slender horns, and her hooves made a clicking sound on the floor, and she knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, are you still satisfied?"
"It's not a good thing, but now it's just a matter of time, but fortunately, this is the last soul, and my injuries are almost repaired. ”
The bloodless hand stretched out, brushing up the black hair that was scattered on his pale cheeks, and Sticker's eyes opened suddenly, and said, "I didn't expect Midler's strength to be so strong, maybe the strongest of the five monks, if I had known that it would be so troublesome to deal with him, I would definitely have chosen another person as a target at that time." ”
He got up from his seat, stepped over the shriveled corpse on the ground, and walked out of the house.
The succubus was stunned for a moment and said, "My lord, this is ......."
Stitch smiled weirdly and said, "Now that the matter is done, we should now go and talk to our close partner about the payment, I think, he should be there now, right?"
